New Melones Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) Fee Program	New Melones Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) Fee Program homepage - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2005 Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, or REA for short (P.L. 108-447), provides authority for Reclamation to join four other federal agencies in a fee collection and revenue retention program, issue special recreation use permits, and participate in a nationwide parks pass initiative called the Interagency Pass program. For Reclamation, implementing this legislation marks the first time that certain recreation areas such as New Melones Lake are provided the opportunity to retain revenues at the site collected, to be used for the enhancement of recreation facilities and services and other public benefits. Previous fee authority required all revenues to be deposited into the Land and Water Conservation Fund or the Federal Treasury. Visitors to New Melones Lake Recreation Areas have access to high quality standard and expanded amenities which meet the criteria for a fee program under REA. Amenities such as developed boat launch ramps and day use areas with paved parking, permanent restrooms, sanitation services, onsite ranger staff and other features have historically been provided free of charge at New Melones. Visitors to New Melones are currently being charged fees only for camping, while most other reservoir-based recreation areas in the region also charge fees for day use, boat launching, RV dump stations, pets etc. Per Reclamation Manual PEC-01-01, ?recreation? is a proprietary activity for which user charges are to be collected: these charges are to be based on `market? or `comparable? prices. Failing to charge comparable fees potentially undermines the ability of other local businesses and agencies to compete for recreation dollars. This is contrary to the requirements contained in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A25.
